It’s Gonna Be May: May Feast Days and Dates to Remember

April 30th can easily be known as NSYNC Day. Some millennials remember their hit song “It’s Gonna Be Me”. It has later grown into the parodical meme with a young Justin Timberlake that reads, “It’s Gonna Be May”. We will soon be transitioning to the month dedicated to the Blessed Mother.

May will see a transition from the Easter season to Ordinary Time. Many spring events will happen such as May processions, first communions, confirmations, college, medical, and law graduations and proms.

The month is also filled with feast days and important days on the Catholic calendar dear to many Catholics.
